What does Zionism have to do with my dismissing Fauri's Churchill bit for what it is--an old gambit? Perhaps you can tell us what the context--political and personal--was for Churchill's writing his history and what intent the work shows. Also, whether Churchill used much archival material, wartime secrets to which he was privy, and other research and documents, and how well he handled sources. How Churchill managed to write 6 volumes in just 2 years whilst readying himself for a political comeback. And what kind of coverage Churchill gave to the war in the Pacific, the IMT, western and eastern wars in Europe, the National Socialist government, concentration camps, mass murder by the Germans of Soviet POWs, the ghettos, deportations of Jews from Germany and mass deportations for forced labor into Germany, T4 and euthanasia, the Hunger Plan and food policy in the East, important battles like Stalingrad, collective punishment and reprisals by the Germans, population redistribution schemes and Germanization of the eastern territories, relations among the Allies, Allied responses to Jewish pleas for help during the wartime, and so on.
Churchill's treatment of these topics and themes seems to me the proper starting place for understanding inclusions and omissions in his history, far better than Faurisson's overused soundbite.
I am curious about what a reader of these volumes has to say about the balance of their coverage, their point of view and focus, their positioning of Churchill himself and his adversaries and rivals, and the influence of the postwar situation on the content.
